Hi Everyone - to reinforce Matt's comment, here's the background behind buying vehicles for parts (Parts Cars) vs. buying vehicles to be resold (Used Car Sales) - when we buy a car for parts, we have to submit that information to several government groups (like the state DMV). When we submit the information on the car, the VIN number is then listed legally as ‘scrap’ or in other words, it’s no longer an operating car in the eyes of the government. Therefore we’re not able to sell a whole car purchased for parts without breaking the law. It’s also one of the reasons why we now sell Used Cars at most of our locations. When we find good road worthy vehicles (like Matt’s Jeep for CheapJeep), we can buy those in a different way so we can sell them legally. Hope this helps!
... and it's always tough to see some of the good ones go (like the MJ), but on the flip side - it's good knowing that any remaining quality parts will be reused vs. going straight to a crusher.
That jeep may have died but it probably kept quite a few Comanches on the road with it's parts.
10:30 As a comanche owner, all i can say is... YOU MONSTER!!!
I was pissed. Just started liking his vids.
whats so bad about taking a tailgate off
@@cadenmcgowan5161 he was taking alot of hard to find parts that are very valuable. In the Comanche community tailgates and taillights are worth way more than they should be, a perfect set of taillights often go for 500 bucks
@@wigit2216 I know I own a Comanche
I am blessed for the guys I've bought my 2 mj's off of. The 87 was 600 bucks with a blown 2.5 and the 89 (my daily driver) for 1200 with EVERYTHING working, that includes ice cold ac!
You should put a cash counter on the screen in all the videos to show where the budget is.
I carry an old 760 cap with me in my toolbox. That way, when I'm looking for axleshafts, I can take that cap out and compare it to the u-joint that is in the parts car.
There should be no such thing as a 2 wheel drive jeep
true^
Joshua Odowd It was marketed as the *drift jeep* lol
Joshua Odowd, i slid into a ditch with one and it got out just fine,
Untamed Rider damn, now I want to get one for a drift build....
Joshua Odowd there should be no such things as a jeep
I had an 88 Comanche sport truck when I was in high school. That truck was a blast to drive both on and off road. I put a 4" suspension lift and 32" rubber on it, quite a chore for the 2.5 litre engine. Thanks for sharing.
Wow Knoxville Pull-A-Part. One off my many places I go
Thanks for taking me with you to pick and pull. For the last three years I have lived too far away from one to just run over and see what they had. When I did live close to one (10 min drive) I would go by just to see what was new in the yard. On one of those excursions they had just set a 48 flat fender in the line. Still had the Spicer 18 transfer case in it, same as the one I've been running in my 53 wagon for the last 38 years. I grabbed it! I love those treasure finds. Good thing I did, short time later mine chipped a tooth and it got between the gears and busted the case right in half. Did I mention I only paid $25 for it. So I rebuilt the whole case for less than $100. That will last until I'm gone for sure. I love the vintage Willys Jeeps. going to put some pics of it up soon.
For all those shedding a tear for the MJ: I would have loved to buy it, but it's impossible. I'm not sure exactly how it works but it has to do with govt. blah blah...by the time the vehicle makes it to the PAP yard, it can no longer be sold, the VIN has already been registered with the govt. as scrap and can only be parted out. No more VIN, no more registration, no more legal vehicle... I'm going to get the "you should've taken the whole jeep" comment forever;(... woulda if I coulda!
BleepinJeep been there before.. they had the cleanest mj ive ever seen in the junkyard by me with a blown motor and it was a shame it couldnt of been boughten..
BleepinJeep I have a super clean 1989 mj 4x4 4.0 with no rust and I love it, it's staying with me for a while
its always sad to see classics in the yard. you know the saying they don't make them like they used to. in the Comanches case they don't make them at all 😢. but hopefully FCA will change that and bring us a new jeep "pickup" I really hope its worth the wait
Christian Rosario the cash for clunkers was a great time for parts pickers but a shame for perfectly good vehicles being demolished for no good reason.
Yeah very true my dad cashed in a really nice second gen ford explorer to cash for clunkers, there was absolutely nothing wrong with it and my dad regrets trading it in. He regretted it so much that he went out and bought another second gen explorer just one year newer 97 to 98. Its a shame how many good cars we lost to cash for clunkers. Thanks Obama.
I wish we had wreckers like this in Australia. everyone here charges more than new some times even more than the local Jeep dealership.
identical to my first Jeep Comanche lol. the best rig I ever owned. nice find!
I definitely agree with passing on the 242. the stars need to align for it to shift properly out of part-time 4wd in either direction. One fun new year's eve a nosy neighbor called the cops on me while I was doing the back & forth shift dance trying to get it back into 2wd, after needing 4wd to get out of the driveway. granted it has almost 300k miles on it, but I've heard similar stories. my local part pulling lot as of a week ago has two 242s left to rot out in the aisles
Wow, this video hits so close to home... My daily is a 5.9 ZJ that was in phenomenal rust-free condition when I bought it, except for the typical blown 46RE, failing 249 case, bad axle shafts, etc. etc. And I've pilfered parts from many a ZJ in the Cleveland, OH Pull-A-Part. When I had the trans rebuilt, I had the transmission shop source and swap in a "242" but instead I got a 231. The shop had to swap the tail shaft from the 249 to get it to work. I later swapped it again on my own with an actual 242 and I can confirm that 249 to 242 is a simple bolt-in job. As for the shifter, I swapped that for a correct 242 shifter and bezel as well. You are right that the 249 shifter will work correctly with a 242, but it lacks the stops/gates between the 4wd ranges and between N and 4 Lo if that's important to you. If you run a 231 in your ZJ, remember that some earlier 4.0 Laredos (like, 93-95s) did in fact come factory with 231s, and thus, you can find the correct shifter assembly and bezel...and it snaps right in to your 96-98 console. I've even seen a few in my Pull-A-Part yard. Lastly, if you're really ambitious you can flip a wire harness behind the VIC and it'll even light up the correct ranges too.
i did a 249/231 swap on my lifted 94 zj 4.0. only thing you need to look for is input shaft length. they can be different and only by a small amount but it matters. mine was the same length going into the trans. shifter can stay. i did have to extend my rear control arms to fit the drive shaft. worth the swap tho. i love donuts!! great show.
those MJ taillights are worth their weight in gold. You should grab all the parts off it, sell them and add to your budget.
the reason we keep the cv shafts is because you can make it home with a broken one. a broken u joint you wont be able to drive it out of the woods. cv axle shafts are cheap as hell online new also. i would keep the abs since this was supposed to still be a daily driver zj.
For all MJ fans, there are six on the Phoenix craigslist, everything from stock 2wd to exocaged rock crawlers. Happy shopping.
The visor is for an XJ. You can tell because it is tilted down towards the windshield. MJ's have a higher roof line, so they have a specific visor PN. Also, even though it was 2WD, it still could have the factory D44 rear axle. Especially being a longbed truck, makes it a little more possible. Based on the graphics, that thing is also a 91 or 92... A time when they often just tossed the D44's in to burn up stock. Feel free to direct message me with any questions. I have a factory Diesel MJ and a 87 Metric Ton from CA I am restoring.
I wish we had a cool car wash like the one at the end of the video, especially with a buff-n-shine finish. Ours has been out of service for 5 years, although it says OPEN all the time.
I own the bumper and seats out of that truck. Cleaned up and covered they look great!
Nice score!
That Comanche is in pretty good shape. I used to work for AMC Jeep back in the day. 85 to 2001
Matt, I have owned my Comanche for 3 years after searching for over a year and got one Rust Free and I'm from Iowa. I've seen lots of Comanches and can say that would be a good deal. 1. You don't have to deal with renix problems since it's the H.O. and it should have the better wiring harness. 2. Rust free from what I saw and probably still has that factory undercoating like mine. 3. I haven't seen a rubber bed mat for these trucks or the bed cover. That's a rare combo. I've done the 4WD swap and I think you can do it. Truck has lots of potential. 4. Comanche Club is the best forum and you need to join.
can't, see pinned comment^
dude that's a 92 the last year of them they only made like 500trucks that year
Yep plastic bumper covers, and not much in the way of structure behind it either. CV axles work fine when taken care of, had 232k on my 96 ZJ's original CV axles. Yep the fake leather cracks all to hell in them, if I ever get another jeep it will NOT have leather LOL.
The NP242 T-Case was a great setup especially if you live in snow country where road conditions are constantly changing. Part time and full time 4WD is a nice feature.
You can always tell what owners had no friends when the driver side is destroyed but the passenger seats are perfect 👌
The only real problem with the 231 swap can be input shaft lengths. I'm really enjoying this even tho I have a fully built Wj with the D231hd swap. Now that was a pain in the butt! Lol
funny thing about the old XJ / MJ interior. Most modern seats, the cloth tears up quick, the leather cracks quick, the foam disintegrates. I have a 94 abused cherokee with a quarter million miles with the same style interior as that MJ. Funny thing is, teh cloth and foam are both in pretty solid shape, no tears, foam is nice and squishy and even. Where they failed is the metal seat frame engineering. The left side of my driver's seat has basically collapsed and i have seen that on other XJ's of the same era. Might have been trying to save too much weight and engineered the strength out of them.
I miss my MJ. Was to be my first truck (also my initials), some drunk illegal totaled it on his way to get more beer. The dude back up, rammed it again, backed up and pulled into to 7/11 and drove off. He left his front license plate in the side of the truck. Cops refused to arrest him because they can't prove he was driving. 4 priors for DUI. Got court order for garnishments, got 60 bucks and that was it. Never saw a dime and no insurance covered it. So it was a total loss.
It was a 1988 Comanche 4.0 5spd 4x4 long bed. I want another one. It was white with tan interior. None of that red or blue stuff.
a gravel junk yard would be awesome we've only got a dirt one & it rains along lothe struggle is real lmao
I'm digging the music and the car wash
There's a Comanche here in town (Juneau, AK) that is in extremely good condition, built up, etc. It came up for sale shortly after I bought my current XJ, and it took a lot for me to keep myself from figuring out the financials to make it happen. I see it a few times a week parked in its driveway... still want it... will always want it....
We are lucky here! All the PAP yards here in Nevada I've been too, are all nicely concreted! I only been to one that was dirt, and they layed concrete in a few months after the one time I went when it was dirt!
Awwwwwww its like a baby J-series truck. On a side note on engineered to fail, my J20 has all factory original (1976) calipers, bearings, and u joints and not a single one even has slop from wear.
saving the mj would have been great but not all of them are savers
mines worse but i am going to try haha
I loved the 242 transfer case in my ZJ. When the LS goes into my XJ I hope I can figure out a similar transfer case.
my god man....that junkyard is immaculate!!!!
have a 86 comanche 4x4 with 2.8 v6 i built runs strong was going to sell it decided to keep it and build it little at time got to sell a couple of 84 corvettes first i also have complete wiring diagrams for comanches
sway bar links are different from one another from 96-97, 96 and earlier had the longer style w/o the ball joint on it, 97&98 had the balljoint style, I've had 4 zjs and done all sorts of things to them and learned a lot
That MJ was sick.
That MJ bench would be nice in an XJ.
You'll only find a 231 in an I6 Grand Cherokee. Also u-joint axle shafts tend to be more common on the 93-95 years.
I'm not even a Jeep guy, I'm a Toyota guy, tundra driver, but I dig this channel, good content man!
The NP242 is my favorite for my ZJ daily driver, highway and slick or off-road conditions. We have a Wrench-a-part here and I wish it was half the store those Pick-a-Parts are. But you are right there are over 20 ZJ's out at the yard to pick from here at ours as well.
Good thing I have a Comanche
go with a 241 transfer case out of a chevy 4wd. very strong transfer case and not difficult to adapt.
" these dodges always looked good when you pimp them out... i dont know about that one though..." hahaa!!
These are the videos I love by bleepinjeep
I picked a MJ over the weekend. Got there late, almost everything gone behind the cab. I still got the brake proportion valve and e brake pedal assembly tho. Took the brand new distributor and wires too.
If you mean height sensing prop'valve connected to the rear diff' your a lucky duck. If you took it out of the engine bay you only grabbed a distribution block, which is unique to the mj.
@@d.sm.4146yes, it was the mechanism that attaches to the axle. I also managed to get the solid rear window glass out in one piece (1st time ever pulling glass), with the seal. Guess I was pretty lucky lol.
i love walkin around in junk yards
that mj is my dream truck.
Really wish we had pull parts here in my neck of the woods
Liked for the puppies at the beginning :)
You can switch it to cv by putting cv axle shafts in
I'm an Explorer not a Jeep, but you have sparked my interest in going to PullApart for diffs/axles/transfer case!! Thanks alot!
man i like those comanches
I liked the Magnums myself too...all but the front clip. Felt like the 300 or Charger front was a little better. But between a Comanche and a Magnum...I'd have to go Comanche! Huge fan of those.
I crashed my 91 Comanche last winter, she is still on my driveway waiting to be fixed, I have always wanted one so I'm not getting rid if it, should be an easy fix, the frame forward of the front axle is the only damaged part aside from the grill and stuff.
I pulled some connectors off that same cherokee at the beginning last week
Dang I would have bought that bed liner and cover asap lol
Someone at my high school had one of those Jeep pickup trucks
As for the swaybar, I would just get jks easy disconnects or any ebay brand that works. They aren't that much and are a easy cheap jeep part that helps out a lot. The average builder can buy those and install them. As for the transfer case, I'd go with the 242. Tom Wood's makes SYE and great after market parts for the 242. Not that you are doing that, but for the viewers. That's who I used. As far as the shafts go, U joints are great and you can get them and carry spares if you break them. CV's are nice, but you do run into the problem of the boot's breaking and you can't add outer shaft seals with them. I did the swap to Ujoints and haven't looked back. You do need to look at shaft length though because not all shafts are the same. The Dana 30 that's in there has a variloc or similar lsd carrier. The shaft lengths are different than those of an xj by about an inch.
Richie rich paying extra for the Buff n shine :)
Get the Np 242 for sure it is my first choice on Cherokees.
thats the cleanest boneyard ive ever seen...holy shit lol
That's one clean KEWL Bone Yard👍
My 93 zj still has the seats and all the interior in original condition with almost 280k
Dude..Grab stuff like that top window visor and grill pieces that are clean..EBAY them..I was looking at one for my GC Laredo..Expensive like $200.00..You could snag that one for probably $20..Good clean profit and you're working for yourself..Great video by the way.
The reason all the seats in the Grand Cherokee's were so fucked, was because they all had the heated seat options. Over time the leather will crack, wear and tear do to the heat, and the little holes that the heat comes from only speeds up the process of wear. The non heated seat option is better for this reason. The non heated seats are still leather but are relay comfy and padded ,also they are much more well stitched and they look way more cool, in my opinion. I drive a 94 limited, and I don't have one single rip in my seats. I recommend to anyone that if you plan on buying a zj, to find one with that option. The only down side to this, is that there more hard to find, so good luck.
Glad you grabbed all the good stuff (other than the bedliner). The split rear window that one has is very desirable as well. My 86 MJ has it, and the roof visor. The rear bumpers are highly desirable as well, so you may want to grab it on your next trip. Cool find! Wish I could be so lucky.
I got my 8.8 with LSD and got a G80 for a Danna 30 nothing beats 120 bucks for the rear and 40 dollar G80 locker for TJ XJ
Wow, the salvage yard you are at looks like a paradise compared to the Pull and Pay(s) here in Denver. Pull And Pay looks like an A- Bomb hit it them (possibly at the same time).
this would be heaven for scanner danner
I go to pull a part in Knoxville some.. maybe I'll run into one day.
Awe shucks I was hoping to grab those tail lights!
Your cheap jeep intros 😂😂😂 They get to me, man.
Tyler might need that bench seat for his overlander jeep!
I owned a 4x4 Comanchee back in 1991. Loved the thing. Only reason I got rid of it was family out grew it.
I miss the ones I had at on time I had two one on 44 and a 351w best truck ever
Would have loved to see how to remove the 242 TC and convert it.
yes that is the bumper underneath the cover!
nice, to bad it's so thin;(
I wish it was thicker too. But it doesn't look bad when painted. And as far as the sway bar end links, I'm not too sure about it but I've noticed that the straight six I had did't have the little wobbly ends, but the v8's that I have seen do. Not sure if that is the difference or not.
wow it's hard to believe they cost so much I'm looking at one on Craigslist it's an 89 with 200,000 it looks like it's had body work with a baby blue paint job for $2500 it's really clean it's only a 2WD though
That car wash was trippy
i like how he pulled the tail lights from the MJ. The same tail lights from a 1st and 1.5 gen dakota.
Nope, the dakotas are a hair too big.
Cool dogs !
On the seats bottom they unbolt from mount and it’s same left and right
242/231 swaps with the v8s most likely need the input shaft swapped. i know 93-95 had a 249 specific really long shaft and would need to be swapped into the other t case. not sure about 96-98. bunch of forums on it
damn, nice MJ.... i want one :D
a few questions why did you want to switch from the 249? they both have the same low range? also your pull a part is much nice than any locations i have near me
Where is that Comanche at I would love to have that bed liner and the bed cover
That MJ had taken quite a hard hit low down on that corner. My guess would be that the hit bent the frame, and with the truck not being in tip-top condition that would make it a write-off in economic terms. Could something have been done with it? Without a doubt, but insurance companies don't look at whether something is rare or unusual on standard policies, only on collectors policies, so they just look at the bottom line...
Haha! I love it Matt. I always come home with something from the junkyard that I didn't go there for.
me too about 99% of the time
omg your yard has so much more xjs than like 9 junkyards here wtf no joke out of all them i only find like 2 97+ cherokees max
Great find on the MJ parts. Wish I had that bed mat for mine. MJ tai lights and straight tailgate =$
Amazing clean and organized yard!!
abort cheap Jeep sell the grand cherokee and buy the MJ do a video of a 2 wheel conversion to 4x4
I have an MJ....just sitting blown V6 Engine, automatic transmission. 4x4 matching camper shell
id love to have that rear bumper for my MJ. along with that bed cover! i havent seen a bed cover like that for a long bed before.
that comanche was pretty beat. Can find em way better than that for like 1500 bux.The long bed ones even cheaper.
